It's the sd card! - hogey74 - 07-18-2016
Hi there,
After some trouble and after buying hipo USB chargers etc, it turns out that it was the sd card! A Kingston 32gb card wouldn't boot past the first screen. A Sandisk 16gb runs like a boss! I tried various burns, power supplies etc and none of them mattered. It was the sd card. I've got two pines so now I'll try a sandisk 32gb for the second one.
My pine is running fine via a ue boom usb charger and the flat yellow cable that came with it. I burned remix using phoenix and my laptop.
Good luck! I figured I should let people know what worked for me. Someone needs to work up a list of sd cards that work. Add the cheapest (in australia) Sandisk 16gb. It's at least a 10x one, but seriously the cheapest.
cheers john
Oh and the wifi module just plugs in and works. So did my logitech usb thing - plugged it in when I got to the first option screen on first boot and it instantly worked. Good stuff!

I strongly recommend the Samsung 32Gb Evo+ Class 10 cards.

Perhaps a counterfeit SD card? See tkaiser's thread here
